Chicago, Ill. – Whether you prefer to call and text or you are a technology enthusiast who wants all the bells and whistles of a power-packed smartphone, U.S. Cellular encourages customers to visit its new location in DeKalb at 2442 Sycamore Rd. At the 2,500-square-foot store, customers can speak with an associate about the many benefits of being a U.S. Cellular customer, such as Overage Protection and a valuable rewards program that recognizes loyalty.

To help celebrate the store’s opening, Terry Broadhurst from the Rockford IceHogs, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, will help cut the ribbon and sign autographs. The event will take place from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 22, and attendees will be eligible to win an in-store raffle to receive tickets to see the IceHogs in action, a team-autographed mini stick and other cool IceHogs items.
